Alex Carter was just an ordinary 17-year-old—until the night everything changed. After a chance encounter in a dark alley, he discovers an impossible power: the ability to manipulate time. But with great power comes deadly consequences.

When a dangerous criminal organization known as The Shadow Syndicate learns of Alex’s abilities, they send their most lethal enforcers after him. Pyre, a mercenary with fire-based powers. Echo, a master of sonic destruction. Nightmare, a psychic who can turn his victims’ worst fears into reality. And at the top of it all—Zero, the ruthless leader who possesses the ability to erase anything from existence.

With his world spiraling out of control, Alex must train alongside unexpected allies: Evelyn, a genius hacker with telekinesis, and Marcus, a street brawler with superhuman strength. Together, they uncover a plot that threatens to rewrite reality itself.

As the battles grow fiercer and the stakes higher, Alex realizes his powers may be the key to stopping Zero—but using them comes at a cost. With time running out, he must master his abilities, face his greatest fears, and make an impossible choice.

Because if he fails, time itself may shatter… and the world will fall with it.

Timelock

Alex's breath felt shaky as he stared at the woman.

"What do you mean… you created me?"

The woman hesitated. Then—she pulled a badge from her coat.

Dr. Lillian Carter

Project Paradox – Lead Researcher

Alex's last name.

"No. No, that's not—" His throat tightened. "You're saying—"

The words hit him harder than any punch.

Alex staggered back. "That's impossible! My mom—she—"

"She died when you were three," Lillian said quietly. "That's what they told you. What they wanted you to believe."

Alex's heart pounded. "No. You're lying."

Secrets of Project Paradox

She stepped closer, lowering her voice.

"Project Paradox was a classified gene experiment. The goal was to create humans who could manipulate time itself."

Evelyn and Jax stood in the doorway, listening.

Evelyn frowned. "And Alex is… what, some kind of lab rat?"

Lillian's face darkened. "No. He was my son. And I wanted to keep him safe."

Alex's fists clenched. "Then why do I have these powers?"

Lillian exhaled. "Because they experimented on you—before you could even walk."

Jax blanched. "Holy crap. That's messed up."

Alex's voice was cold. "So, what? I was a science project?"

Lillian's eyes softened. "No. You were more."

She looked at him, something raw in her expression.

"They thought they could control you. But you broke free. You survived."

Alex swallowed. "And now they want me back."

Evelyn crossed her arms. "So, what do we do?"
